Close confirmation on Close Other Tabs

I'd like to see an undo function for closing tabs.  I don't know how 
easily that could be implemented, but it would cover the closing the 
wrong multiple tabs situation.  I also sometimes just accidentally hit 
Cmd-W when I'm aiming for something else or just in a hurry and then 
wish I could bring the window or tab back.
